Who We Are
Granite Basin Engineering, Inc. (GBE) was founded in 2006 by engineers Davin Benner and Ben Huza. Our company is based on the primary goal of promoting creativity and resourcefulness in every step of planning, design and construction. We have diverged from stereotypical corporate structure and management practices and allow our employees to take a more active role in the planning and development of our projects. That concept is what sets Granite Basin Engineering apart from our competitors.
GBE offers innovative yet practical design solutions using the latest in modern technology. We are committed to the superior service, effective communication and quality professional services essential to our clients and our community. We listen to our clients’ needs during the planning process. Our intimate size and low overhead allow us to manage projects without losing control of scope, budget or schedule. Our unique method of operation and management allows us to provide unsurpassed customer service.
EMPOWERING THE AMBITIOUS
Our Philosophy
Our work philosophy is centered on understating and communication. Our principles are involved with our client’s projects from start to finish. We believe that clarity in scope and client expectations yields exceptional products. We pride ourselves on up-front planning, alternatives analysis, and project management. We make every effort to inform stakeholders, including clients, funding partners, municipal agencies, utility companies, and the affected community of design elements and critical points of interest in the decision-making process. Our staff has a vested interest in project success, quality products, and community involvement. We believe that planning, coordination, and effective communication are the foundation of sound engineering design. We make decisions based on up-front planning, coordination with stakeholders, field investigations, and practical evaluation of problems and alternative solutions. This assures that we will keep progress in motion while protecting your interests.
COMMUNITY-MINDED
CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES
Land Development and Site Planning
We provide land planning and development assistance for your project that includes due diligence, master planning, rezoning and special use permits. These services extend to commercial and residential projects. We are capable of assisting with entitlement, surveying, planning, design and construction. Stakeholders remain involved with every step we take through the process. We adapt to new ideas as they arise within this creative process.
Water and Wastewater Engineering
We design water and wastewater systems that are the lifeblood of our community partners. From expanding infrastructure in the areas of the Quad-Cities to developing sustainable solutions for Water Districts in Mayer and Walden Meadows, We ensure reliable, efficient service for our neighbors. Our team combines local knowledge with advanced technology to create systems that conserve resources, protect our unique environment, and support the region's growth. Whether it's upgrading aging pipelines or designing new treatment facilities, we're committed to safeguarding our community's water resources for generations to come.
Transportation and Infrastructure Engineering
As our communities grow, so do the needs of its residents. Crafting transportation solutions that respect our region's unique character and promote sustainability is a critical concern. Our team balances modern engineering practices with local needs, designing roads and associated drainage systems that enhance safety, improve traffic flow, and support smart growth. Projects such as the Penn/Eastwood Improves within the City of Prescott brought the infrastructure in those neighborhoods into the 21st Century.
Land Surveying
Rooted in the late 1800’s. The region's original surveys are preserved with every keystroke of our Land Surveying Team. We gather critical data that is crucial to every project's success. Project size may vary from a residential lot to a several hundred-acre ranch, but the principles and practices remain the same, keeping harmony among neighbors.
Construction Management and Administration
Working through a project, we keep our stakeholder's interests and concerns at the forefront. Granite Basin Engineering ensures seamless project execution from groundbreaking to ribbon-cutting. The team's expertise shines in diverse projects like Touchmark at the Ranch, where design parameters had to fit evolving lifestyles. Talking Rock Ranch brings 18 holes of championship golf to the region. As we design future phases within this community, we need to blend community and recreation. These projects showcase GBE's ability to navigate challenges, maintain quality, and deliver results that protect the local landscape.
